Engineering the Hierarchical Porosity of Granular Hydrogel Scaffolds Using Porous Microgels to Improve Cell Recruitment and Tissue Integration

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, Volume 35, Issue 12, March 18, 2025.
By fabricating and covalently assembling gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) porous microgels, a new class of granular hydrogel scaffolds with hierarchical porosity is developed. These scaffolds have a significantly higher void fraction than their counterparts made up of nonporous microgels, enhancing cell recruitment and tissue integration. This research may

Antibiotic Resistance

open access: yes, 2019
Microbes are known to exist since antiquity. Many antibiotics are obtained from soil microbes (fungi and bacteria) and have been present in the environment long before humans started using them in clinical settings. Microorganisms have been naturally exposed to these bioactive products during evolution.

Engineered Peptides‐Based Hybrid‐Nested Microneedle Effectively Treat Biofilm‐Infected Diabetic Wounds

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A hybrid‐nested microneedle/cryogel scaffold (MQW‐CMg‐MOF) is designed for efficient biofilm removal and accelerated healing of diabetic wounds. The scaffold shows substantial biofilm removal in vitro and in a preclinical diabetic swine biofilm‐infected wound model compared to the control.

A Stress Response Monitoring Lipoprotein Trafficking to the Outer Membrane

open access: yesmBio, 2019
Gram-negative bacteria produce lipid-anchored lipoproteins that are trafficked to their outer membrane (OM). These lipoproteins are essential components in each of the molecular machines that build the OM, including the Bam machine that assembles β ...

Biofilm Control by Active Topography with Mucin Coating

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study reports a new antifouling strategy based on a bioinspired design. Mucin coating enhances biofilm control by active topography with beating micron‐sized pillars. Besides the mechanical force of beating pillars, the antibiofilm activities also involve biological factors since mucin coating inhibits swarming motility and c‐di‐GMP synthesis in ...

Antibiotics and Antibiotic Resistance

open access: yesBiomedical Journal of Scientific & Technical Research, 2017
According to the World Health Organization (WHO)’s "First Global Report on Antibiotic Resistance“, and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC&P), the spread of "superbugs“ - bacteria that have changed in ways that render antibiotics ineffective against them - is a serious and growing threat around the world...

Vaccines in the fight against antimicrobial resistance – from evidence to policy - perspectives from South Africa

open access: yesInternational Journal of Infectious Diseases
Introduction: The rising prevalence of drug-resistant infections presents a challenge to modern medicine by limiting life-saving therapeutic options, especially for those who cannot afford more expensive second-and third-line antibiotics, and ...

Zophobas morio larvae as a novel model for the study of Acinetobacter virulence and antimicrobial resistance

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology
The use of mammalian models for in vivo testing of bacterial virulence raises ethical concerns and is expensive and time-consuming. As an alternative, non-mammalian models are sought.

Multifunctional Hydroxyapatite Coated with Gallium Liquid Metal‐Based Silver Nanoparticles for Infection Prevention and Bone Regeneration

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A multifunctional hydroxyapatite (HAp) coating integrated with silver‐gallium liquid metal nanoparticles (HAp‐Ag‐GaNPs) exhibits dual antibacterial and osteogenic properties. It effectively inhibits Gram‐positive and Gram‐negative bacteria, including resistant strains, while enhancing bone regeneration.
